Udana Vayu is prana moving upward. It primarily lives in the throat and is strengthened by balancing all prana vayus and moving energy into and upwards within sushumna Nadi (the central energy channel) within the spine. Udana can be explored and strengthen through inversion and extension postures, but also through vocalised expression (chanting, om, humming). Udana vayu governs inspiration, growth, and the movement of awareness from gross to subtle.
